Chapter 70 - Too Observant
Kagome was snoring softly when the voice announced their desired flight was landing. As if he wasn't lucky enough, the passengers would use a gate located on the other side of the airport. George tapped his wife's shoulder to wake her up. However, being in such an awkward position had left her limbs numb and she almost fell in her hurry to stand. Have it not been for Fred's quick reaction, a pregnant Asian woman would kiss the floor. Still not feeling her legs, Kagome asked him to meet her family. He got to the gate right in time.
Mrs. Higurashi greeted him with a warm and motherly hug. Even back when they first met she never failed to make him feel welcome. 'Is this a Higurashi thing?', he wondered. Back when he first saw Kagome in her pink kitten costume her presence was like the breeze after a storm. He mentioned it once and she said her Miko powers react regardless of her motivations. Her powers caused her dreams that had brought them together. George often wondered, had Fred not died in the battle of Hogwarts, how fate would have worked to make them meet. He refused to think of the possibility of never knowing his dearly beloved.
"Where's my sister?" asked Souta, "Is she already so big she can't pass through the door?"
George bit inside his cheek to hold back a chuckle. Like Kagome predicted the previous night, Souta's first comment was about her current weight. Mrs. Higurashi repressed him, who just hid behind George for safety. Boys will be boys, Molly always says.
His brother-in-law was a sweet kid. Ron's straightforwardness mixed with his and Fred's charisma and humor in a Japanese package. If he ever attended Hogwarts, George bet he would be put in Slytherin. The cunning little bastard knew how to turn the events into his favor, but sometimes he was too smart for his own good.
"Isn't your twin brother dead?" George nodded. Kagome came to them, too anxious to wait, and dragged a disguised Fred with her. "What is he doing here then?"
Wow, 70 chapters! I can't believe it!
Thank you all who read and review! You are my reason to keep going!
